PHP redirects will work, no matter what settings users have on their browser. This is because PHP is a server side script. It will not depend on browser settings that may affect JavaScript which parsed on the client-side/user side.

Usually a PHP redirect is much more reliable than other forms of redirects like HTTP redirect or JavaScript based redirects. For example, a JavaScript redirect may not work if the browser settings of user have turned off JavaScript.

301 Redirect is also applicable to search engines. When a search engine robot visits your old page, it will be notified about the new URL by this 301 Redirect.

You can use 301 Redirect as a permanent redirect to your new URL. This is considered as a way to tell the server to redirect the visitor towards new URL when they come to old URL.
